My TEAC(model #MC-DX32i)stereo system won't gain power to turn on

You can but be shure to measure the voltage that is required by the two units, also check that the polarities are the same. The current consumption should be fairly the same

Laser assembly apparently is inoperative. Time to replace unit since repair is not cost effective.

Check the speaker wiring on the back for shorts, if okay! the audio output ic is faulty and needs to be replaced.

This is on page 23 of the manual for your device... This is the web link...

If the unit is on, press the STANDBY/ON switch to turn it standby

2 Press and hold the TIME SET button for more than 3 seconds and release it when "12H" or "24H" appears on the display. "12" or "24" blinks. If you want to change the hour mode, press the .or/ button.

< If you leave the unit idle for 7 seconds, the time setting mode will be cancelled.

3 Press the TIME SET button once more. The "hour" value blinks.

4 Press the SKIP button (.//) to set the current hour.

5 Press the TIME SET button. The "minute" value blinks.

6 Press the SKIP button (.//) to set the current minute.

7 Press the TIME SET button. The clock starts.

So what's left?
